Bulls/Blazers Talking Hinrich trade

Sorry, was in a hurry watching the game. I think Blake is actually playing better this year then Hinrich and plays really well with Roy. I'm not sure trading for Hinrich is what we need this year with Blake playing better. I think Bayless is our starting PG next year. So, why trade for Hinrich when he has such a big contract.

 

This "trade for Hinrich" garbage has to stop. Fortunately that time will be coming at 12:01 tomorrow!

 

The problem for the Blazers is that Raef Lafrentz might not be enough.

Timberwolves and Knicks are now in the fray. T'Wolves I think can offer the best offer for Hinrich, but the Knicks would take Hughes as well.

 

you're hilarious. As if Kirk is some great big prize everybody would love to have

 

It's between the Wolves and the Knicks, then, because Portland isn't likely to be willing to trade RLEC for Hinrich. Even if no other deal can be found, the cap space will be more valuable, since there are more intriguing players than Hinrich available in the summer.

 

It's not a problem for the Blazers, though. We simply move on to another team. It's a buyer's market.

 

not really. since he's come back from injury hinrich has been statistically the bulls MVP in terms of how he impacts the game. seems like a lot of bulls fans underappreciate that.

if bayless is really our starting PG next year sergio will be gone tomorrow and bayless will be playing the rest of the year. we'll see

 

I don't really see how we make a trade that works salary wise to get Hinrich. If we send RLEC and a draft pick, they need to find someone to pair with Hinrich to match the salaries. The only guy they might want to give up would be Thabo Sefolosha. He is supposedly a defensive whiz, and still young, don't know if they would want to give him up.

 

It's a pipe dream I know, but this would be peachy

I'd imagine at the very least Bayless would have to be included if Deng is included, but probably Fernandez, and that's why a trade involving Deng to the Blazers will not get done.

 

So you're saying Portland is unwilling to deal any players Chicago is interested in, and why is this news? As far as I'm concerned Portland "dealing" with Chicago has all been fabricated by people on this board and has little to no legs at this point.

 

Because they're talking about a trade regarding Kirk Hinrich, not Luol Deng. Bulls would do the salary dump with Hinrich, but probably not with Deng.

 

Portland has no need for Kirk. They might as well let Lafrentz walk, take that 7-9m and sign Sessions in the offseason, or do a sign and trade for sessions with Milwaukee and use the TE in a secondary deal as an incentive.

No way in hell you are offloading Kirk onto Portland, sorry.
